Removing Barriers to Raise Healthy Kids

By Lyssa Schmidt | Development Director

Family Health La Clinica Women Infant and Children’s (WIC) Program offers support to pregnant and postpartum women, infants, and children up to age 5. WIC's mission is to safeguard the health of families who are at nutritional risk by providing nutritious foods to supplement diets, information on healthy eating, and referrals to health care. 

During the pandemic there was a need to remove barriers to receiving support. Aside from healthy food, the second biggest expense in raising healthy children is diapers. 

“Especially now more than ever, families are struggling with food insecurity, childcare cost and shutdowns due to COVID making it difficult for families to maintain steady jobs, rising cost of rent and utilities,” said Michelle Burington, WIC Project Nutritionist.

WIC partnered with Jake’s to offer two diaper drive thrrough events, one in Marquette County at the Health Department, and one in Waushara County at Family Health La Clinica. 

“Because of the pandemic we are not conducting in person appointments, but wanted to find a way to continue to show our participants we are here for them and advocating for them.”

Jake’s was able to supply WIC with diapers sizes N to 5 and a supply of pullups. Between the 2 events over 120 families and gave each child within each family 100 diapers. 

“We are so thankful to be able to partner with Jake's to be able to provide a more comprehensive service to our participants. This was the first time we have done something like this and it was great to see such a good turnout, showing the need is definitely there. We hope to continue partnering with Jake’s and to continue to host events like this in the future.”
